they’re writing the names of stars and galaxies all over their arms and hands, all to look up when they’re home. it’s clear that mira isn’t paying attention, too busy talking to the shadowy-smoke hovering around them. they blink.
❝ … you’re not here t’ send her away, are you? ❞
Visiting this place certainly felt like something of a relief in ways that Saima didn’t realize was necessary. Still, they played a little cautious in finding a place to sit.
“Oh, no – no. I’m not here to send anyone away. I’m certain of that.“
❝ i wish i could tell you —- i know little of these waters. ❞ though he found fascination, it was always difficult for him to find true interest in learning more of the waters. he tended to favor something on the opposite end. he stepped forward, his boot just brushing against the start of the water. he looked down, no answer coming to him.
“Fair enough. And even knowing something is no guarantee. I find the waters tend to so many hidden depths – it’s a wonder that anyone learns much about them at all.” Being one close to the water, they had heard and known many things. And yet, the mysteries never seemed to end. A dipped hand into the water, they relish the way the water feels in between their fingers before removing it.
“I guess that’s some of the appeals to the water. Always something interesting below the surface.“
“If anyone wants to go see the Aurora Borealis sometime with me, I know some absolutely wonderful places to see it.” Saima genuinely enjoys taking people out into the wintery wilderness for a sight of the beautiful lights in the sky. And it’s been a while, a little company for the trek wouldn’t hurt.
“I mean, that’s my initial impulse. I’ve always worked best with simple things personally. But I’m always open to trying something different, one never knows what they might encounter out here.”
A nod of understanding, dreams had a way of being rather intense experiences. “I see. I understand how it’d still be a lot to go through – certain dreams have a way of really getting to you.”
Eurydice let her fingers brush the surface of the old tree, patterns are drown in her ebony skin, a present from the old soul living inside. A gift of love and appreciation, the sweet nymph smiles and look at the godlike entity that travels with her. “Please” she urge them “tell me more – I have known only mine and few others now that you have shown me, but I see around me and find myself lost in a world so big. Please, tell me your stories.”
When Eurydice urged them to tell more of their stories, Saima couldn’t help but smile. They always did have a wonderful time when they had the chance to talk about their origins. And to do so in the midst of a dear forest, this only made them feel all the more willing to talk.
“Indeed it can be easy to be lost in a world this vast.“ They sympathize with the feeling of being overwhelmed. “But sure. I’ll tell you some stories – in the beginning, the sky had been connected to a large tree – much larger than anyone could see these days, the creation of the sun, the moon and the earth – awakening from the same source. A crater which had fallen to the earth shaped the lands – seeing that creation was amazing, no one knew what to make of it. And so they could only make stories to explain.“
They smile wistfully, allowing themselves to go back, far back in a way that was rarely allowed. “In those crater shaped lands, many beings came to flourish – Kalevpoeg was the great first king of the area. And there were many tricksters, giants, maidens and nature entities – all of whom still have their stories passed down over generations. Me? I had come to age among these tales, wandering around everything. I learned from the old wizard Vanemuine who had been in charge of song, literature, and folklore. Throughout the years and the struggles of people in Estonia – I’ve tried to keep that mythic spirit alive and encouraged among them. It helps that I’m something of a spirit deity myself. ”
[text] I mean – it’d add a different variety to the kinds of crust you work with. I’d probably use it more for savory pies. But it’ll likely make for a subtle complement to fruit fillings.
[SMS]: That could be delicious. Maybe with a meat and vegetable filling? How would that affect the flakiness, though? I do so love a flaky crust.
[text]Yes with a meat and vegetable filling would be delicious.
[text] it’s probably a bit more stable than you’re used to – but if you mix it in right, you could probably still a good amount of flakiness. just not make too thick of a crust
